BBC changes fracking story to help ‘deniers’

”this is typical BBC double think. Their mask of fairness slips every time they support the criminal British State”
by Tim Fenton     No matter how cautiously the words are phrased, and in spite of a range of caveats, when a former minister mentions the subject of shale gas live on the BBC, the hacks’ antennae twitch to attention and those words are instantly spun.

Oisin Fanning is chairman of San Leon Energy.. But how come the  Irish  INDEPENDENT gives him platform?

this in is response to your post about that fracking article that in the independent.
I did a little researching and here are some interesting things I found out about how it prob got published even though it is BOLLOX.
One, The Independent is own by the O’Reilly family.
Two, Anthony O’Reilly Jr owns a gas company, that is currently mainly focused on off shore drilling. It’s called Providence.
Three, Turns out that Providence are working partners with company the author of the article works for.
“Providence operates Barryroe (50%) with partners San Leon Energy (30%) and Lansdowne Oil & Gas (20%)”

.Campaign for CO2-free fuel.. please help.
We live in a fragile skin of breathable gas in an immense vacuum. The imminent danger is of uncontrollable climate change which could make the whole planet uninhabitable, like all others in our Solar System. The only solution is to immediately change to an economy without CO2 releases..  This is perfectly possible.
